Abstract
An intravascular electrode system includes an intravascular lead including a spiral section, and a plurality of electrodes on the spiral section. The electrodes are positioned to form a plurality of circumferentially-spaced longitudinal electrode arrays, each longitudinal array energizable independently from the other longitudinal arrays.
Claims3
An intravascular electrode system, comprising:
- a lead including a spiral section;
- a plurality of electrodes on the spiral section, the electrodes positioned to form a plurality of circumferentially-spaced longitudinal electrode arrays, each longitudinal array energizable independently from the other longitudinal arrays.
A method of using an intravascular electrode system, the method comprising:
- intravascularly introducing a lead into a vasculature and positioning the lead in a target blood vessel within the vasculature, wherein the lead includes a spiral section, a plurality of electrodes on the spiral section, the electrodes positioned to form a plurality of circumferentially-spaced longitudinal electrode arrays, each longitudinal array including a plurality of the each longitudinally aligned with the other electrodes in said longitudinal array
- energizing a first one of the longitudinal arrays to capture a first nervous system target;
- and
- energizing a second one of the longitudinal arrays to capture a second nervous system target independent of the first nervous system target.
